Crew’s Sweat to gain valuable reps in short stint at Dutch Lions

Rookie defender Ben Sweat is set to join-up with the Dayton Dutch Lions for a pair of matches as part of a game-by-game loan between the Crew and its USL-PRO affiliate. Beginning this weekend, Sweat is scheduled to be with the Dutch Lions for their matches on May 4 against Charleston Battery and then on May 10 in a clash against LA Galaxy II. Sweat, 22, was drafted in the first round (14th overall) of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft by the Black & Gold. The University of South Florida all-time leader in appearances has yet to make his MLS debut.
